#62 Never Forgotten

• Cathy
  i loved this poem becuz its so true
• Rich
  As a male reading this poem i fear for all those little girls now this moment as i type that are continually abused, raped or beaten ! I am ashamed as I read this to be a part of the male species. I am a person who keeps my feelings deep down and for once this poems truth and sadness seeped through every word! i hate to say well done on the poem because the topic is extremely saddening. Good luck girl and remember the healing starts with the first acceptance you have been abused then will be there forever its how you cope with the pain! Good luck I admire you and all the girls who have commented and have been abused!
• Margo
  This poem brought tears to my eyes. This happened to me and it reminded me of innocence lost at the hands of adults who portray Love in a unjust way. It is hard to not remember and to forget the pain that one goes through when they are violated and hurt in many ways. I appauld the person who wrote this poem because it certainly speaks to the heart and soul.

• Michelle
  It was good for u to let out ur feelings to others that have been in this situation im sure people hurt and can never get over what happened to them. It is a nasty thing for someone to do but it happens and that person will pay for it, maybe not as soon as u want it but it will

• Adrainna
  I know how you feel. I was raped and its the most horrible thing that any person to do on a child. And you were only 8. I was 13 whan it happend to me. We were so young. It still haunts me. You just gotta be strong. I love your poem. I can really relate to it. Writeing poems is a good way do let some of your anger and sadness out. Never give up!

• ally
  hi i loved the poem i know how it is to get abused i was 5 when my father abused me when my mother had died. i know how it feel to feel betrayed by the one person you trust.
• star
  I am 24 years of age and when I read this poem I felt tears swell up in my eyes and thought "I couldn't have said this better my self". I was abused as a child but at the time didnt know it was wrong. Now no one believes me and I have to live with the pain. My mom told me I must have liked it because I didnt say any thing, but she doesent know what it feels like when you think the person hurting you loves you and would never hurt you. I just pray every day god forgives her ignorance and helps ME get through another day.
• sarah

  That poem was truly deeply touching. It is so true that even though it hasn't happened in a long time. The memories will remain with you forever. You are a strong person for being able to get past this horrible situation. Poetry is a great way to let your emotions out. Stay strong.

• jamie

• Kellie
  Great poem, seriously. I went through the same situation as a child of age 5, for years I blamed myself when it was the adult who was to blame. To this day I haven't forgotten and I will never get that part of my life back.
• Brooke
  THIS POEM REALLY GOT TO ME. ME AND MY SISTER BOTH WERE SEXUALLY MOLESTED BY MEMBERS OF OUR FAMILY. HER MY STEPFATHER AND ME MY STEP BROTHER. AND I ONLY HOPE THAT CHILDREN WILL LEARN THAT WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THEM IS NOT RIGHT AND THAT THEY CAN TELL SOMEONE. I DID!
• Jasmine
  This poem really touches my heart. It make me realise that i am not the only one who feels hurt when things like this happens. I was sexually abused by my cousin for a few times when i was at the age of 5. I didn't even know what was going on. I just obey him and keep very still. I still meet him nowadays. I wonder whether he remembered what he had done to me or not, and he felt ashamed of it or not. I forgive him but the terrible memories will owes stay in my heart forever. It really hurts and i understand your feelings.
• Marcus
  Wow. i too am 16. and i feel your plight,and admire your strength. wow.
• Kayleigh
  I think this and all your other poems were so passionately written. Im only 16 and each touched my heart and i know i will never forget the words that were written in all. Take very good care of yourself, as you are obviously a very special person. God Bless.
• megan
  Kristin, that poem was very good- i was molested by my step father since i was 9 years old- it hurts- and your poem tell the story like it is. i am 15 now- and i still have suicidal thoughts because i don't want to deal with the pain- thanks for writing the poem- i write poems too- it really helps to deal with all the pain- i am sorry it all happened to you when you were only 8- you were right- you did have to grow up fast- just remember you are not alone- there are a lot of people out there just like you
• jeni
  Great poem - but where is the end? Of course you can never really *forget* what he did, but you can forgive and let go. Life is so beautiful now, like when I was 4 before I was moleted.
• Linnea
  This poem touched me deeply since I was sexually molested by my brother beginning when I was 8 and ending two years ago when I was 10. You need to stay strong and remember you are an earth angel and will never be alone. You have sisters all over the world who know what you have been through. You will never be alone and whenever you feel the guilt or shame or anger just force yourself to recall how you DID NOT want what he did to you
• Leslie
  I really could relate to this poem i was abuse as a a young child by my mother anad i felt like i am not the only child who has ever suffered.
• Emily
  when a poem makes you stop and think, and hurts to read and fills u with empathy, then u can b sure that u have read an excellent poem
• panda
  THIS POEM TOUCHED THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. I AM ONLY 15 AND I HAVE JUST STARTED TO DEAL WITH THE SEXUAL ABUSE MY FATHER HAS DONE. I WAS ABUSED FOR TEN YEARS. I KNEW IT WAS WRONG LATER ON BUT I WAS SO SCARED AND I DIDNT TRUST ANY ONE SO IT WENT ON. NOW IM FINALY STARTING TO HEAL. I LOVED YOUR POEM SO MUCH. MAY GOD BE WITH YOU.
• Susan
  Moving At least some way you are able to deal with it throough writing May God Bless you
• Bree
  AMEN
• tiffany
  how could someone do soming like that to a 8 year old that is so wrong i am only 15th and i would never in any way hurt a little kid
• Irene
  Wow. This was a great poem. As soon as I read the first line, I knew that I could relate to it perfectly. I, too was sexually abused by my father when I was about 10, but i didn't know it was wrong. I was such a naive and innocent child and didn't figure out that he shouldn't have been doing that until 2 years later! 2 years! he told me that it was for my own good and that he loved me! THis is a BEAUTIFULLY written poem from the heart. and that's why it is the most beautiful of all
• Pat
  Excellent peom and unfortunatly real
• Wed

• K
  This touched my heart, im 18 and just coming to terms with my past, the evil forced into me has a child, haunts me everyday, i think its fantastic that you can write down these words, well done, and thank you.

• MaryJane

• melissa

• Bethany

• Joy

• Randi
  This is such a tearjerker!! Anyone who has been abused, knows someone who has been abused, or has no idea what it is like will hold their breathe for a moment after reading this poem. It is touching.
• Melanie
  Wow! The pain a person can feel just reading the poem. I can imagine what you felt and still feel. I been through something similar.
• andi
  I was raped and molested by my father for years starting when I was 12 and ending when I ran away at 16. The pain never goes away but we learn to deal with it. I also write poetry about my pain and it really helps a lot.
• Brenda
  I know exactly how you felt, I went through the same thing. I am a strong person and I learned to get on with my life and not let what happend to me take it over and ruin the rest of it for me.
• Hil
  This brought tears to my eyes. I was sexually molested as a child and it went on for 14 years. I thought that by telling people that I was molested that I had dealt with the fact that it did indeed happen...I fooled myself[by thinking that way] for 8 years. Now I am free. It still affects me but I know a lot more about myself by bringing the memory of it all back. as much as it scarred my heart[and body] I have finally come to realize that it was not my fault all those years. I was only a little girl. and although I will never be able to forgive or forget the man who did that to me, I can live again. I have many poems on this, I would love to share them with you.
• Melissa
  I too was in the same situation that you have been in and have found that writing poetry was the most sucessful way for me to release all of the emotion that was built up inside me. It has been seven years, and I still write just to vent. I hope that your petry heals the wounds inside of you too.
• em
  very sad but very truthful awesome and powerful
